DNN/Accelerator co-design has shown great potential in improving QoR and performance. Typical approaches separate the design flow into two-stage: (1) designing an application-specific DNN model with high accuracy; (2) building an accelerator considering the DNN specific characteristics. However, it may fail in promising the highest composite score which combines the goals of accuracy and other hardware-related constraints (e.g., latency, energy efficiency) when building a specific neural-network-based system. In this work, we present a single-stage automated framework, YOSO, aiming to generate the optimal solution of software-and-hardware that flexibly balances between the goal of accuracy, power, and QoS. Compared with the two-stage method on the baseline systolic array accelerator and Cifar10 dataset, we achieve 1.42x~2.29x energy or 1.79x~3.07x latency reduction at the same level of precision, for different user-specified energy and latency optimization constraints, respectively.

Visual Grounding (VG) aims to locate the most relevant region in an image, based on a flexible natural language query but not a pre-defined label, thus it can be a more useful technique than object detection in practice. Most state-of-the-art methods
in VG operate in a two-stage manner, wherein the first stage an object detector is adopted to generate a set of object proposals from the input image and the second stage is simply formulated as a cross-modal matching problem that finds the best match between the language query and all region proposals. This is rather inefficient because there might be hundreds of proposals produced in the first stage that need to be compared in the second stage, not to mention this strategy performs inaccurately. In this paper, we propose an simple, intuitive and much more elegant one-stage detection based method that joints the region proposal and matching stage as a single detection network. The detection is conditioned on the input query with a stack of novel Relation-to-Attention modules that transform the image-to-query relationship to an relation map, which is used to predict the bounding box directly without proposing large numbers of useless region proposals. During the inference, our approach is about 20x ~ 30x faster than previous methods and, remarkably, it achieves 18% ~ 41% absolute performance improvement on top of the state-of-the-art results on several benchmark datasets. We release our code and all the pre-trained models at https://github.com/openblack/rvg.
To speedup Deep Neural Networks (DNN) accelerator design and enable effective implementation, we propose HybridDNN, a framework for building high-performance hybrid DNN accelerators and delivering FPGA-based hardware implementations. Novel techniques
include a highly flexible and scalable architecture with a hybrid Spatial/Winograd convolution (CONV) Processing Engine (PE), a comprehensive design space exploration tool, and a complete design flow to fully support accelerator design and implementation. Experimental results show that the accelerators generated by HybridDNN can deliver 3375.7 and 83.3 GOPS on a high-end FPGA (VU9P) and an embedded FPGA (PYNQ-Z1), respectively, which achieve a 1.8x higher performance improvement compared to the state-of-art accelerator designs. This demonstrates that HybridDNN is flexible and scalable and can target both cloud and embedded hardware platforms with vastly different resource constraints.
A panoptic driving perception system is an essential part of autonomous driving. A high-precision and real-time perception system can assist the vehicle in making the reasonable decision while driving. We present a panoptic driving perception network
(YOLOP) to perform traffic object detection, drivable area segmentation and lane detection simultaneously. It is composed of one encoder for feature extraction and three decoders to handle the specific tasks. Our model performs extremely well on the challenging BDD100K dataset, achieving state-of-the-art on all three tasks in terms of accuracy and speed. Besides, we verify the effectiveness of our multi-task learning model for joint training via ablative studies. To our best knowledge, this is the first work that can process these three visual perception tasks simultaneously in real-time on an embedded device Jetson TX2(23 FPS) and maintain excellent accuracy. To facilitate further research, the source codes and pre-trained models will be released at https://github.com/hustvl/YOLOP.
Networked automation systems (NAS) are characterized by confluence of control, computation, communication and Information (C3I) technologies. Design decisions of one domain are affected by the constraints posed by others. Reliable NAS design should a
ddress the requirements of the system, and simultaneously meet the constraints posed by other domains and this is called co-design in literature. Co-design requires clear definition of interfaces among these domains. Control design in NAS is affected by the timing imperfections posed by other domains. In this investigation, we first study the different sources of timing imperfections in NAS, and classify them based on their occurrence. The concept of jitter is used to define the timing imperfections induced by various system components. Using this analysis, we classify the jitter based on their behavior and domain of occurrence. Our analysis shows that the jitter induced in NAS can be classified based on domain as- hardware, software and communication. Next, we use this analysis to model the jitter from the components of NAS. Modeling timing imperfections helps in capturing the interfaces among the domains, and we use the concept of design contracts to capture the interfaces. Design contracts describe the semantic mapping among the domains and are specified using the jitter margins. Implementing design contracts requires knowledge of the jitter margin and, the results from control theory are used to this extent.
Spatiotemporal action localization requires the incorporation of two sources of information into the designed architecture: (1) temporal information from the previous frames and (2) spatial information from the key frame. Current state-of-the-art app
roaches usually extract these information with separate networks and use an extra mechanism for fusion to get detections. In this work, we present YOWO, a unified CNN architecture for real-time spatiotemporal action localization in video streams. YOWO is a single-stage architecture with two branches to extract temporal and spatial information concurrently and predict bounding boxes and action probabilities directly from video clips in one evaluation. Since the whole architecture is unified, it can be optimized end-to-end. The YOWO architecture is fast providing 34 frames-per-second on 16-frames input clips and 62 frames-per-second on 8-frames input clips, which is currently the fastest state-of-the-art architecture on spatiotemporal action localization task. Remarkably, YOWO outperforms the previous state-of-the art results on J-HMDB-21 and UCF101-24 with an impressive improvement of ~3% and ~12%, respectively. We make our code and pretrained models publicly available.
